Optimization of a groundwater quality campaign utilizing the NSGA-II with preference ordering algorithm, contamination risk maps and well availability.

This work focused in selecting 70 wells to conduct a groundwater quality sampling campaign. The wells were selected using 4 objectis: contamination risk of NT and CT, the coverage area and the wells which are publicly accessible. A Multiobjective Optimization Problem was defined to obtain the possible selections, and the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II with Preference Ordering was implemented to solve it. The proposed solutions allowed the selection of 70 wells, 86% correspond to the wells which are publicly accessible, 70% of the wells are located in places with the high indices of contamination risk and cover 74% of the study area.CONACYT - Consejo Nacional de Ciencias y TecnologíaPROCIENCI

Integrated, reliable and cloud-based personal health record: a scoping review.

Personal Health Records (PHR) emerge as an alternative to integrate patient’s health information to give a global view of patients' status. However, integration is not a trivial feature when dealing with a variety electronic health systems from healthcare centers. Access to PHR sensitive information must comply with privacy policies defined by the patient. Architecture PHR design should be in accordance to these, and take advantage of nowadays technology. Cloud computing is a current technology that provides scalability, ubiquity, and elasticity features. This paper presents a scoping review related to PHR systems that achieve three characteristics: integrated, reliable and cloud-based. We found 101 articles that addressed thosecharacteristics. We identified four main research topics: proposal/developed systems, PHR recommendations for development, system integration and standards, and security and privacy. Integration is tackled with HL7 CDA standard. Information reliability is based in ABE security-privacy mechanism. Cloud-based technology access is achieved via SOA.CONACYT - Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y TecnologíaPROCIENCI

Historial de salud personal unico, confiable y ubicuo

Existen centros asistenciales que continúan registrando los datos de la historia clínica del paciente de manera autónoma generando información fragmentada. Aquellos que cuentan con un sistema de Historia Clínica Electrónica (HCE) generalmente no poseen mecanismos de interoperabilidad, o bien existen implementaciones de manera ad-hoc entre sistemas. En consecuencia el historial clínico se encuentra distribuido en los centros asistenciales en los cuales consulto el paciente. Este trabajo propone una arquitectura interoperable de sistema de Historial de Salud Personal (HSP) centralizado en la nube para la unificación de historiales clínicos y el acceso ubicuo a los datos junto con los mecanismos de privacidad y seguridad de datos. Se presenta la implementación de un prototipo para el área de pediatría, el cual se encuentra en fase de evaluación por profesionales de la Sociedad Paraguaya de Pediatría(SPP).CONACYT - Consejo Nacional de Ciencias y TecnologíaPROCIENCI

A Nature Inspired Approach for Large-scale Pervasive Service Ecosystems

Innovative frameworks have to be identified for the deploymentand execution of pervasive services made up of a massive numberof components, and able to exhibit properties of self-organizationand self-adaptability, and of long-lasting evolvability. This paper discusshow such frameworks should get inspiration from Ecological systems,modeling and deploying services as autonomous individuals (i.e agents),spatially-situated in an ecosystem of other services, data sources, andpervasive devices, all of which acting, interacting, and evolving accordingto a limited set of “laws of nature”. In this context, we presenta reference architecture to frame the concepts and components of ecoinspiredsystems, discuss the characteristics of the ecological approach,and exemplify it with the help of a representative case study. Preliminarysimulation results show the potential effectiveness of the approach

Nature-inspired Spatial Metaphors for Pervasive Service Ecosystems

Innovative paradigms and frameworks have to be identi\ufb01ed to enable the effective deployment and execution of pervasive computing services able to enforcing properties of self-organization and self-adaptability, self-management, and of long-lasting evolvability. This paper discusses how such frameworks should get inspiration from natural systems, by enabling modeling and deployment of services as autonomous individuals, spatially-situated in a system of other services, data sources, and pervasive devices, all of which acting, interacting, and evolving according to a limited set of spatial \u201claws of nature\u201d. In this context, this paper presents a reference architecture to uniformly frame such concepts, surveys and critically analyzes different nature-inspired spatial metaphors to realize the idea, and details our current research agenda concerning the development of service frameworks inspired to the ecological metaphor

Middleware Infrastructures for Self-organising Pervasive Computing Systems

In this chapter, we focus on the need for innovative open pervasive middleware infrastructures to support self-organisation, self-adaptation and evolvability, in distributed applications, with a particular attention to pervasive computing scenarios. We discuss how such middleware infrastructures should be at the basis of a nature-inspired architectural approach to system design, enabling the modelling and the deployment of services as autonomous individuals in an ecosystem of other services, data sources, and pervasive devices interacting with one another. A reference conceptual architecture is presented to clarify the concepts expressed and the role of middleware within it, and several possible approaches to realise the idea are surveyed and critically analysed, also with the help of a simple case study. Two concrete examples of middleware infrastructures—namely the TOTA (Tuples On The Air) middleware supporting a physically-inspired computing model and the TuCSoN (Tuple Centres over the Network) middleware supporting a chemical-inspired one—are detailed along with examples showing how to use such infrastructures
